UK Green Party co-leader says Biden complicit in 'slaughter of innocent people'
The co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, Carla Denyer, has accused US President Biden of complicity in the “slaughter of innocent people in Gaza”.
Her comments come less than a day after she wished him well and thanked him for his “public service” after he withdrew from the presidential race.
Denyer, who was recently elected as MP for Bristol Central and campaigned on a heavily pro-Palestinian platform, said in a post on social media platform X on Sunday: “I wish President Biden well and thank him for his many years of public service.
“This cannot have been an easy decision for him. But to take a decision that is personally difficult, but that is in the public interest, is a true sign of leadership.”
Denyer apologised the next day after sparking widespread debate online, particularly among Green Party members and voters.
